Wilson was a medical-surgical and generalist photographer, writer, and communication specialist in the health care and library science fields for 36 years – cut steel in a foundry and drove a truck for a time. “I’m interested in the artfulness of those things that make up the region where I’ve lived all my life,” Wilson said. “My photographs are little portraits of central Illinois. I seek out the time-worn, curious, and funky, exploring rural communities and urban neighborhoods for reminders of humanness, culture, and community.” He is a graduate of the University of Illinois, a juried Illinois Artisan for Photography, and a member of the Peoria Art Guild. stephencurtiswilson.com.
Pam Martin is a retired therapist who enjoys reading, writing, photography, and walking in the woods with Papi, the elderly rescue chihuahua. She and her husband retired to Deep River, Ontario, having fallen in love with the area years ago due to the pine trees and the best-grilled cheese sandwich ever. Pam was born in Ottawa but spent most of her adult life in Prince Edward Island, working for a few years in Northern Saskatchewan. After being in La Ronge, SK, she doesn’t understand why anyone would travel anywhere but north! Her favorite thing about living in Deep River is the abundance of trails – water, rocks, trees, plants, mosses, and lichens, a world of glory for the walker and photographer, as are the early mornings with the mist rising off the river.
